Description

The application of nuclear transportation code S sub(N), Dot 3.5, to radiation shielding problems is revised. Aiming to study the better available option (convergence scheme, calculation mode), of DOT 3.5 computer code to be applied in radiation shielding problems, a standard model from 'Argonne Code Center' was selected and a combination of several calculation options to evaluate the accuracy of the results and the computational time was used, for then to select the more efficient option. To illustrate the versatility and efficacy in the application of the code for tipical shielding problems, the streaming neutrons calculation along a sodium coolant channel is ilustrated. (E.G.)

Abstract (Portuguese)

Revisa-se a aplicacao do codigo nuclear de transporte SN, DOT 3.5, a problemas de blindagem de radiacoes. Com o objetivo de estudar a melhor opcao disponivel (esquema de convergencia, modo de calculo), do codigo DOT 3.5 a ser aplicada em calculos de blindagem, selecionou-se um problema padrao do 'Argonne Code Center', e utilizou-se uma combinacao das varias opcoes de calculo para avaliar a precisao dos resultados e o tempo computacional, para entao selecionar a opcao mais eficiente. Alem disso para ilustrar a versatilidade e eficacia, na aplicacao do codigo para problemas tipicos de blindagem, ilustra-se o calculo do 'streaming' de neutrons ao longo de um canal refrigerante de sodio.
